I was tagged by =twinkle-stah... Never really done one of these things so.. here goes.

Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person should post 8 aleatory facts of themselves.
3. Tagged people should write a Journal/Blog about these facts.
4. In the end, tag and name 8 more people.
5. Go to their DA pages and comment saying that they are tagged and hugged

Erm.. lets see.. aleatory means relating to good or bad luck.. but especially bad.. but these may end up being just random facts having nothing to do with luck.

1. I work as a graphic artist for a sign shop, and sometimes my 'work' ends up being homework/projects for my boss' daughter, or her other random school related things. Science projects, cheerleading crap, homecoming decorations, athletic tournament banners, etc. While it is something new and different, and I get to be creative, it also means I usually end up having to work 1-3 hours over time after a 9 hour day.

2. I bought a new webcam with my new computer (last year) for the sole purpose of being able to have video chats with my bf, only to break up with the jerk several months later. Blech. I have no use for the thing now.

3. The money I would have wasted on him can now be used to buy toys for my fuzzy ferrets :love:

4. I've spent lots on adorable matching hammocks and comfy blankies and beds for the fuzz, yet they still insist on sleeping in my dresser with all of the clean clothes. They also would rather play with socks, pull books off the shelf, and hide my stuff inside the boxspring underneath my mattress than play with their own toys. :faint:

5. I want to get a tattoo curling around my wrist and up onto my hand.. because I love fluid lines that wind and curl.. but everyone keeps telling me I might not like it because it will be hard to cover up. :( Also because.. the pain.. the paaaaaaaaiiiiiin!

6. I like my bulky-heavy-ancient mp3 player because it holds around 5000 songs.. but I can't put new music on it anymore since both computers in my house are new and run on vista and it won't accept the old software :(

7. Lately I've been wanting to paint more, and I have new watercolors and new brushes, but can't seem to find the time.

8. I want soooo much to live by myself and be independent, and even though I got a raise around Christmas I still can't afford to move out for quite a while :(

And.. that's it. Soooo.. I tag..

Ya, what the heck is an aleatory fact about someone? "I won 20 dollars at the craps table?"

Maybe the creator just threw 'random' into a thesaurus.



Oh, and happy Family Day! ::hi five::
*shrugs* I have no clue. I just winged it.

Thanks for tagging me, Alicia, but, unfortunately, I already did a journal of this nature some time back.

I do want to congratulate you on 50,000 pageviews and do believe you are way to hard on yourself.

Do you live in Alberta? I thought family day was an Alberta thing.

I too am a graphic designer! I USED to work in a sign shop, making golf signs for tournaments across north america. It was the most boring thing ever, and everyone sat in their cubicles avoiding eye contact and listening to headphones. Hopefully your experience is more enriching.

I'm gunna do this later when I have time. :)
Haha - thats ok! I've never really done these things before, and I almost didn't tag anyone at all.. simply because I think most of the people I consider friends here don't like them :XD:

I don't really know anything about family day..? I don't live in Alberta either, I live in northern Mississippi lol :moo:

The sign shop I work in is a family owned kinda thing. I have a small office and another room connected thats about 10 times the size of the office, where I cut and print vinyl, put signs together, etc. So not really any cubicles here. I'm the only graphics person here, so I always have a ton of work.. and 98% of the time I work by myself unsupervised. Since it's a smaller business everyone knows each other and everyone's friendly for the most part. I still listen to my headphones a lot though :D

By the way, you said you used to work in a sign shop - where do you work now?

I enjoyed reading this. :hug: You should do more lol.
that actually sounds like a super great job then. I now work at the University of British Columbia, mostly printing large format posters and creating dental and medical brochures and whatnot.
